Among those who reported from him are: his grandson Umayyah ibn Ṣafwān, Ibn Abī Mulaykah, ʿAmr ibn Dīnār, al-Zuhrī, and Sālim ibn Abī al-Jaʿd.
He owned a house in Damascus.
It is said that when Muʿāwiyah performed Hajj, Ibn Ṣafwān rode out to meet him on a camel and traveled alongside him. The Syrians asked, “Who is this Bedouin?”
He then presented Muʿāwiyah with two thousand sheep (1).
Because of his forbearance, generosity, and sound judgment, he was considered the foremost notable of Mecca in his day.
He was killed beside Ibn al-Zubayr while clinging to the curtains (of the Kaʿbah) (2).
Yahya ibn Saʿīd al-Anṣārī said, “They brought to Medina the head of Ibn Ṣafwān, the head of Ibn al-Zubayr, and the head of ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muṭīʿ.”

53 – Qaṭarī ibn al-Fujāʾah, Abū Naʿāmah al-Tamīmī al-Māzinī *
The commander Abū Naʿāmah al-Tamīmī al-Māzinī, the celebrated champion and principal leader of the Kharijites.
He rose up during the time of Ibn al-Zubayr, routed successive armies, and his menace became formidable.
Al-Ḥajjāj kept sending force after force against him, but he shattered them and seized control of the region of Fars. He had well-known engagements, a bravery the like of which had never been heard, and eloquent poetry that circulated widely.
Among his verses are:
“I said to her while sparks were flying from the warriors:
‘Woe to you, fear not!
For even if you asked to live a single day
beyond the term allotted to you, your plea would not be granted.
So stand firm with patience in the arenas of death, stand firm;
for the prize of immortality can never be attained.’”
